Which is better, eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder?

Eyebrow pencil is a beauty cosmetic used for drawing eyebrows, which is mainly like a pencil. Eyebrow powder is also a type of beauty cosmetic. Eyebrow powder is a cosmetic that is evenly applied on the eyebrows. Compared with eyebrow pencil, eyebrow powder is more natural. Eyebrow pencil has many colors, and then matched with eyebrows. If you don’t have the habit of trimming eyebrows, I believe that eyebrow pencil is also very practical. Eyebrow pencil is more flexible to use, and it’s not complicated.

Eyebrow pencils can achieve a more natural effect and make sparse eyebrows thicker. Eyebrow pencils require more skills to operate, while eyebrow powders are quite simple to operate, but you must pay attention to them. Below we will briefly introduce how to choose eyebrow pencils and eyebrow powders, and how to choose according to your own conditions.

The main ingredients of eyebrow pencil are paraffin, beeswax, ozokerite, petrolatum, carnauba wax, lanolin, cocoa butter, carbon black pigment, etc. The above raw materials are made into wax blocks and pressed into pen cores in a plodder, and then glued in the middle of two semicircular wooden strips to form a pencil shape for use.

Eyebrow powder is applied evenly on the eyebrows by dipping an eyebrow powder brush in some powder, from the eyebrow head to the eyebrow tail, with light force. Eyebrow powder will be more natural than that drawn with an eyebrow pencil.

When choosing eyebrow powder, you should try to choose complex dark colors (such as dark brown gray). On the one hand, it will highlight the clear contour of the face, and on the other hand, it will make the skin look whiter. The choice of eyebrow powder brush is also very important. Try to use a brush made of animal hair (such as badger hair or yellow wolf tail hair). It needs to have a certain degree of stiffness and smoothness. In this way, the eyebrow powder can be easily adhered to the brow bone. If you use a brush that is too slippery (such as nylon), the eyebrow powder will float on the brow bone. Even if you have the most beautiful eyebrows, the powder will float and the makeup will look dirty. In addition, the formula of eyebrow powder is very important. The powder block should not be too dry. It is best to have some oil in it so that the eyebrows will be more natural and vivid.

Whether your eyebrows are thick or not, if you don't have the habit of trimming them, a well-cut eyebrow pencil is very practical. Of course, the eyebrow pencil with an eyebrow brush at the end will be more convenient to use. Using eyebrow powder is more complicated. It is better to use an eyebrow brush with fine and hard bristles and a slanted brush surface, dip it in the powder and brush it finely. Eyebrow powder can produce a more natural effect, especially making sparse eyebrows appear thicker, but the operation requires more skill than using an eyebrow pencil.

Avoid using eyebrow pencils that are darker than your hair color to make the traces of artificial trimming less obvious. Therefore, avoid using black eyebrow pencil even if you have dark brown hair. If you have red or auburn hair, don't use brown-red lightly. If you have blonde, brown or auburn hair, choose an eyebrow pencil in medium or cool tones; such as beige, gray, or even green (for blondes). People with black hair and black eyes are suitable to choose dark brown, light black, or dark gray eyebrow pencils. Be sure to pay special attention to these subtle differences in color.

There is still a certain difference between eyebrow powder and eyebrow pencil. Eyebrow powder should choose some complex colors such as dark and brown-gray. On the one hand, it can highlight the outline of the eyes, and on the other hand, it will make the skin look whiter. Therefore, the eyebrow powder brush is also very important. The formula of eyebrow powder is also very important. It is best to choose some oily ones, so that the eyebrows will be more natural and vivid. For eyebrow pencils, choose some colors that are darker than the hair. When performing self-operation gestures, you must pay attention to some color matching.
